next seasons shirt

[Cambridgeblue]

Lol - I didn't want to mention nipple rash in my first post because I was embarressed but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who has suffered from it. Need to get this under armour shirt so i can play 5 a side in it again.

Does anyone know exactly what colour under armour shirt they use? I'm looking at the Pro-Direct Soccer website but can't work out whether royal blue or carolina blue is the right one...

You play rounders?

Kappa would be nice... I like the Roma ones:

I don't like the collars on the Puma ones...

Agreed - that is a sweet looking kit... not sure how it would look in XXL though ;)

Personally, due to Cook's connections with Nike, I think it'll be them.

Thats what I would have thought!? Why is the fact that the rags wear Nike, mean City will supposedly not be considered?
Surely there must be rival teams around the world that both wear Nike?

ok its nothing to do with city, its nike that are not intrested due to the fact, they are with the rags,
its looking more and more like umbro are going to be our supplier, and nike do own umbro now ;0(

i do work for a major sportswear company, thats how i get a bit of info
and the guy that said it was puma months ago, was sort of right , but its all changed now thanks to sportswear companys credit crunch.
but there is still a chance we get puma or adidas just up to what city want

Just wondering, surely whoever is our kit supplier next season will have to also buy out the remaining 2 years of our LCS deal?

Which would suggest that any new supplier would have to be very keen to do the deal to pay over the odds, which does not seem like the case.

Or are City not happy with the LCS deal and want to change? Did Chelsea not have to pay Umbro £25m to pull out of their deal when they got supplied by Adidas?

 

[mcfc]

lcs deal is up mate at end of season.

yeah chelsea did buy umbro out to go adidas.

I was sure it was a four year deal, just checked the OS: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.mcfc.co.uk/default.sps?pagegid=" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.mcfc.co.uk/default.sps?pagegid=</a>{040DB726-0BEA-42EB-B38A-7911B5205ADE}

In May 2007, Manchester City announced a record breaking, four-year deal with le coq sportif to become the Club’s Official Technical Kit Partner. The deal sees the French-based sportswear manufacturer take up exclusive rights to provide the Club’s First, Reserve and Academy Team kits and training wear.
The £10 million agreement, which is more than double the value of the previous kit deal, has resulted in the most competitively priced replica kit currently available for fans of any Barclay’s Premier League club, and the lowest price at Manchester City for 15 years. Prices of the new shirt start at less than £30 for adults and £19 for juniors, with further discounts available for Seasoncard holders

looks like its LCS for 2 more years then ... if thats th case

maybe not though due to our new wealth, i reckon ADUG would pay off LCS and bring in someone who they want

I defo thought we still had a few years with LCS - would be good to be made by adidas just because it looks quality - i imagine the city strip to resemble an Argintina shirt

The three stripes down the side of the shirt is iconic in world football, Holland 70's shirt, West Germany shirt. They just look class.

Also the top class players that have boot deals with adidas, kaka, messi. Adidas have a huge hold on their sponsored players like Beckham who will only see him move to 'adidas clubs'. The AC Milan move that was supposed to happen was supposed to have been heavily driven by adidas.

I agree but in certain cases it doesn't matter who has a sponsorship deal with certain players and who sponsors that team, yes it avoids issues but look at Ronaldinho, he is backed by Nike and plays in a Milan shirt so this technically cannot used in reference to players

I did these for the great bluemoon kit competition a couple of months ago. Nike apparently seem not to be a possibility however.

Now these I like :-)

like the first two, but the white one looks similar to the RAG kit a few seasons back

 

[avoidconfusion]

No Nike mock ups?

Holy crap those are awesome, even better than the Puma... why is Nike not a possiblity any more?

What Adidas kits might look like based on some current templates. Think I prefer these than the Nike ones:

i personally think wearing lcs is bad for morale. when i was a kid if you were bought something lcs, you would groan and think, im not fucking wearing that, ill get laughed at when i go to school, and when i look at our kit and merchandise, thats what i think.

even now its in the bargain bin in jjb type crap.

robinho running around in le coq sportif?

we simply have to have a brand reflecting our status, as a mid table club with delusions of granduer then...

seriously though, its got to change, its a joke.

i for one would buy allsorts of kit if it were nike or adidas, but not the rest of them. not umbro. kappa were wank as well. i know some people will say its the club and the club colours but its not if it makes you look like a tool. which lcs does.
